Something, however, is sure to happen.

We can't continue long at the present pace with wasting, loafing and speculating so prevalent Present Business "This decline in commodity prices during the past few months has been reflected in the trend of business as a whole. The Babson chart which stood at 15 per cent above normal January 1, 1926, now registers 8 per cent above normal. Of course this is mighty fine when compared' with 23 per cent below normal in June 1921 and with normal only a year Business Is still good taking an average of all lines and all sections. yes very, very good. You, however, asked me what is the most outstanding business event, of the, first quarter of 1926 and I have tried to honestly answer the question.

Jt is the declining tendency in commodity prices which in many lines may cause revolutionary changes. (Copyright, 1926. Publishers Financial Bureau.) Miss Mackenberg's affidavit said in part: 1 "I called on Mrs. Coates at her residence, Monday. "Mrs.

Coates said it was futile for Houdini to attempt to do what he is trying to do as most senators were interested in spiritualism. "She mentioned several sen ators, among them Senator Capper, who 'recently lost his wife, Senators Watson and Dill and the wife of Senator Fletcher, who, she said, is a medium and gives seance 8. 'In the course, of her conversation she said, Why, I hare a number of senators visit me here, and I know for a fact that table tipping seances. are held In the White House in the presence of President Coolidge and his family, which proves that' intercommunication with the dead is established.

Mrs. Coates sent the letter, denying she said that "table tipping seances" 'are being held la the White House. Houdini appeared at the White House with the affidavit. It was signed by Miss Rose Mackenberg, Houdini's investigator.

It declared that Mrs. Coates did state that White- House table tipping sessions were held. Making clear that he did not believe such seances had been held within the presidential residence, Houdini said his purpose was to bear out the veracity of his business men, is the declining tendency of commodity prices Such tailing operations. Competition is becoming more severe every This competition is not only local but Europe is becoming a real competitive factor and each month Is sending, more and more manufactured goods into the United States and Canada.

We have so much gold on the American continent that we can well afford even to our own well-being to send more of it back to Europe in settlement of an unfavorable trade balance. The importance of these figures is largely in what they indicate namely," that European manufacturers are constantly selling more and more in the United States and Canada and will soon become serious competitors. "Business failures suggest tht competition both local and foreign is beginning to hurt. The death rate among new concerns which have never been through a business depression is now increasing very rapidly.

The truly successful captain of industry is he who can weather a hard gale. Anyone can sail a business ship when the seas are calm. Moreover, when prices are rising it is merely like sailing with the wind. From now on some careful 'tacking' will be necessary even if there are no storms.

We have an excess of corn in the United States. Corn in hoga is the most profitable in years but the majority of farmers had previously sold "most of their mrplus hogs. Corn is now selling at about the five year average prior to the war! Considering the fact that farmers' costs are considerably higher than before the war, this is a serious matter.

Rye, flax-Reed and other crops are in abundance. Hog prices are still high but cp.ttle prices are fairly slow. Shrewd farmers cannot now see higher prices immediately for any important farm products and fear even lower prices for some. "During the war the producing capacity of our plants in the United States and Canada was greatly increased above normal requirements. Hence immediately following the war there was a great decline in prices.

You are naturally interested in the price of our Elk Creek lands and here we have a welcome surprise for you. In spite of the fact that out of the 345 acres we had to purchase to create this lake property, 119 acres are now buried in water; in spite of the fact that we have thrown acres and acres into permanent parks which never can be sold; in spite of the expense of building the dam and constructing miles of roads, we are able to offer these lots at from one to twelve dollars per foot of frontage. ater There will be many building Sports restrictions to protect this prop- Log rolling will be a feature of the erty, but no unreasonable ones, aquatic program, with Jimmy and Johnny Murray and Frank (Snowball) articular Tomkms as the performers.
